Why is Love Letters so special?
1. I wrote these letters for me- to help me deal with strong emotions I was struggling with... Some of the relationships got better after I wrote the letters, some got worse. But I found my voice and my power.
2. Love Letters was so intimate that the first time I released it in 2009, I did so under my rap name: Red Letter. It took some time but I finally merged Red Letter with Tanikka Price- put fear into perspective, got rid of the shame and guilt and here you have it.
3. I asked God when I was goinv through to allow my pain to help others and that has truly happened. I loved seeing Amber Broadus' reaction to Love Letters. She knows me so well, knows all my stories, I've mentored, taught and life coached her- yet I could see how impactful my words were as she read them. It meant so much to watch her share my book on fb.
4. Love Letters is proof that dreams do come true! I went to college as a future English Major. I couldn't wait to write my first book. My Freshman English Professor made copies of my paper and passed them out and proceeded to tell the class that this was an example of what NOT to do in Freshman English. I did not write creatively for 3 years. Perhaps Mr. Moore though he was giving me tough love but it crushed my Spirit. So this book has been 25 years in the birthing canal. All I had to do the whole time was PUSH!
